The incident was reported around 1:15 a.m. Thursday on Paulson Avenue, near Apple Street.

Donald Mitchell Sr. said he was driving by when he saw the man in the road, so he used his vehicle to stop traffic until emergency responders could arrive.

"I pulled my car over and blocked the intersection so nobody would be flying down here to make any more problems or get this young man hurt worse than he is," Mitchell said. "I don't know what happened, but I was on my way home and I wanted to make sure this young man was cared for, so I called it in, and a young neighbor up the street called it in, so I just do my job. That's all I can do."
